I was asked to operate a flight about 20 months ago with company brand X.
I was on a day off they needed me and the crew was augumented, Heavy crew.
I explained that I just left the bar and was not legal to fly due to some wine I had inhaled.
I was told that I would not be taking the aircraft out and that it was legal to do this.
I refused the flight and was really chastised from it.
I would have been operating 6 hours later, still out of limits!
This fell on deaf ears.
But as an agumented heavy crew all crew members must be in a position to fly if needed. I lost this argument.
Really nice if you work for a company that cares and follows the rules.
Really sucks if you dont.
Could cost you your job.
But at least I did not hurt anyone and my license was protected.
Some people will do anything to move an airplane.
You almost have to be a lawyer to work in this field anymore.
